There are but few aware Of the fact that
within ak miles of Bucyrus there is a
monnd which ages ago was piled up by a
prehistoric race. Although It's existence
has been known for long time yet no one
has had curiosity enough to investigate or
develope II until recently, when the un-
earthing OF several skeletons exnited some
attention. The mound Ia quite large one
and Is half an acre in size, standing PROM
inent above its surroundings. The pecul-
lar feature of the nonnd is that it is made
OF good quality OF sand, which has been
used by the surrounding farmers for long
time. Where the sand came from is a
mystery as there Is none for few miles
around. The pottery and stone imple-
ments that have been accidentally disCov-
cred at different times proves conclusivey

years, but finds himself bowed out at last
"Senator Sherman, Mr., Blaine and the
general with the palsles ale too much for
him. The Herald diagnoses the care in a
torcIble vein lately characteristic of Its
political editorials. 1t says that il is
measurably true, that the Republican par
ty WAS born TO abolish slavery; that it has
been accomplished, and the party filled its
mission. and has taken tumble from a
bold, aggressive craftsmanship to the bot
tom OF Il political machine. 1t then goes
on:
"The appeal OF such men as Sherman,
Blaine aad the general with the palsies Is
not to the patriotism OF the country. but
to lis passions. Their motto is moi that Of
Grant. Let us have peace but that of II

can capture Washington

TREMENDOUS GAS WELL EXPLO-
SION.
Prediction That the Country Will Be
Ripped Up.
Tlndustfial World

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mcrciai predicts an overwhelming disaster
10 the sections Of country occupied by the
natural gas wells, aud is 30 positive in his
assertions that he urges the calling of an
extra session Of Congress to take some ac-
tion IN the matter. Boring for natural
gas should be prohibited by stringent laws.
The good people of Ohio and Indiana
while trying TO develop the gas magazines,
do not tuke time TO consider that they are
toying with force that may destroy this
country and themselves. The danger that
impends is we'll known to scientists. Two
hundred years ago in China there was just
such craze about natural gas us We have
in this country to-day.
Gas wells were sunk with as much vim
and vigor as the Celestisls were capable of
but owing 10 a gas explosion that killed
several millions Of people and tore up and
destroyed large district of country, leav-
ing large inland sea, known on the maps
rs lake Foo Chang, the boring OF any more
gas wells was then and there prohibited by
law. 1t seems, according 10 the Chinese
history, that many large and heavy pres
sure gas wells were struck, and in seme
districts wells were struck quite near to
each other. Gas was lighted as soon as
struck, as is done in this country. 1t is
stated that one we'll, with its usual pres
sure, by induction or back draft, pulled
down into the earth the burning gas oi
a smaller we'll, resulting in dreadful ex-
plosion OF large district and destryirg the
inhabitants thereof. Lake Foo Chang
rests on this district.
The same catastrophe is imminent in
this country nuless the laws restrict further
developments in boring so many wells.
Should a similar ex xI'losiun occur there will
be such an upheaval as will dwarf the most
terrible OF earthquakes ever known. The
country along the gas belt from Toledo
through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will
be ripped up 10 the depth of 200 to 1.500
feet and Topped over like pancake, leav-
ing chasm through which The waters of
Lake Erie will come howIng down, hlling
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, and blot
ting them out forever. Some prompt ac-
lion should be taken to prevent this catas-
trophe,

Advance in Coffee.


II coffee advances as rapidly within the
next six months MS it has during the past
six, many people will resort 10 substitutes,
as they did when the war was going on.
Within the past wear prices of cofTte
have appreciated more Than 100 per cent
Coffee that sold year ago for Of cents
now brings 81 cents in this market. Yes
terday there was an advance OF one cent
per pound and the tendency is strongly
upward.
Coffee is roised in Brazil, Java, Cey-
Ion, Summatra, India, Arabia Abysinnia
the West Indies, Central America, Ven
zuela, Guiana, Peru, B,livan, the Pacific
Islands and Mexico. Brazil raises the
most and Ja9a next. Product OF The lat
ter country goes principally 10 Holland 10
he sent To different places. The people OF
the United States are the greatest coffee
consumers IN the world, and the advance
will entail an extra expenditure this year
for their fAyorite drink OF over $4,000, =
900.
The reasons given by most dealers for
the advance, are first, that increased pop
ulstiOn has caused an increased demand,
and that there il now II shortage in the
production, Coffee raising WAS popular
during the war, and for several years af.
ter the war, aud ON this account large
sections OF country were planted with cof-
fee trees. The result was over produc-
tion, that put the price away down, 30
that there WAS litllc profit IN raising 1t.
As the price declined, the trees were not
replaced by new ones, and in this way the
amount raised rapidly dropped off. A
coffee tree begins bearing at about five
years and reaches maturity at about seven
years. New trees are now being set out,
and in few years there will again be an
abundance of coffee.
The coffee business has undergone
great change within the past few years.
Dealers used TO sell mostly green coffee,
OF which large stocks were kept on hand
but now roast coffee in pound packages Ia
sold almost exclusively. Consumers do
not call for the green coffee, as il is too
much trouble TO roast il. The roasting
cannot be done so we'll by private fami-
lies MS at places that make business Of

William o'Bricn's paper United Irciund,
describes the attitude of his country tow
ard the English jubilee very graphically
as follows
Ireland is the only civilized country in
the world which did not share in the iu-
bilee celebration. She stood sternly and
sorrowfnlly aloof. Ireland's place ought
to have been beside England at the
throne. Irish blood and brain helped to
build the empire. Poverty, misery and
slavery are her reward. She shared
England's labors, but she may not share
her triumphs. England's joy is for fif-
ty years of liberty, prosperity and pro-
gress. The Irish grief and wrath are for
fifty years of misery, famine and op-
preston. England is numbered by the
struggles OF sullen captive, when she
might purchase by justice the aid and
comfort of friend,
There is much truth as well rs pathos
in the last senteuce of this characteriEa-
